„An Overview of Tasks within the CNB's Field of Competence and an Outline of Other Tasks Related to the Introduction of the Euro in the Czech Republic“ approved by the Bank Board at its meeting on 20 January 2005

At its meeting on 20 January 2005, the CNB Bank Board discussed and approved a document called 'An Overview of Tasks within the CNB's Field of Competence and an Outline of Other Tasks Related to the Introduction of the Euro in the Czech Republic". This document is a follow-up to the joint document of the Government of the Czech Republic and the CNB called 'The Czech Republic's Euro-Area Accession Strategy", which envisages the euro being introduced in the Czech Republic in 2009-2010. It analyses the introduction of the euro in the Czech Republic from the institutional, legislative, technical and organisational points of view. The document will be published on the CNB's website in February.

The preparation of the National Plan for the Introduction of the Euro must start well in advance, as was the case in the countries that have already adopted the euro as their national currency.
